This study tries to see whether the subjects? "monolingualism"
and "bilingualism" (monolinguals learning an L2 and bilinguals learning
an L3) influence their study on English, especially writing. The term
"bilinguals" also means "multilinguals" in this study. Bilinguals in this
paper are classified into two; first, passive bilinguals who are only exposed
to another local language, besides speaking Bahasa Indonesia at home,
and second, active bilinguals who are exposed to and also speak other
language(s) and Bahasa Indonesia at home. The findings show that the
monolingual and the active bilingual are better than the passive one; the
active bilingual is better than the monolingual. However, if the passive
and the active bilingual are combined, the monolingual is better than the
bilinguals.
